I initiated this thread last month and thought I'd keep it going for
another month. The new releases that have my mouth watering, at least
until I listen to them, are as follows:
Dukas Symphony in C - Slatkin - RCA. I do remember a list member being
critical of this work, but I have to form my own opinion.
Brahms/Mozart - clarinet quintets - Carbonare - Harmonia Mundi.
These are the two finest clarinet quintets I've ever heard, a great
coupling, and it received an excellent review from Gramophone.
Bach - Wedding Cantatas - Kirby/Hogwood - Decca. Although not to
everyone's taste, I find Ema Kirby to have an excellent voice for
baroque music.
Tchaikovsky - Symphony no. 5 - Gergiev - Philips. Every year or two, I
give Tchaikovsky another chance. Gergiev just might be the one.
Reicha - Quintets, Vol. 3 - Consortium Classicum - MDG. I have vols. 1
and 2, enjoyed them a lot.
Haydn - piano sonatas - Schiff - Teldec. I can't resist this one.
Now, for the sure "pick" of the month, I select the Quatuor Mosaiques
performing Mozart's string quartets kv 575 & 590 on Astree. This
recording should have everything I want from a Mozart string quartet.
